oilyrag80 · 05-27-2013, 06:49 PM

well got some more work done today everthing went as planned and got frame done. rear cab mounts still need some work and there is still some grinding to do but other than that it's done.

oilyrag80 · 05-27-2013, 06:54 PM

I couldn't stand how it looked at stock height so I swapped in my 5 in drop springs in the rear but ran out of time to lower front but heres some pics anyway.
I couldn't help my self and I took a pic when I was gasing up!

**frostbyte** · 05-27-2013, 07:40 PM

the hard parts of the build is done, now on to the easy stuff.

Holy smokes at over 18 feet you have officialy made land yacht status!
Now I understand why some guys are sectioning the front of the bed or tossing the body on a 4-wheel steering frame.
It's just awesome in sheer length, and one of my favorite builds to watch.

bodydropped68 · 05-29-2013, 10:12 PM

That's only two inches more that a late dodge crew cab short bed but the cool points are out of this world with the c10

Yea good thing I have a CDL!

I don't know how much you know about these trucks so I just thought I would throw this out there, if you already know then great.
You can only lower the front end 2" before the alignment geometry on stock spindles is unreconcilable, you will have to get 2.5" drop spindles, with 1 or 2" drop springs depending in how low you want to go, then on top of that you will have to either modify your stock upper Control Arms or buy/build upper drop tubular control arms because the angle of the ball joint will be too extreme.

Well, Im not running any of this stuff I have another complete 5 lug setup
with drop spindles and springs from my last project. I just chopped these springs for the pics I guess I should have explained a little more. But thanks for following along on my build!
